2024 Volvo EX30 electric car price rises ahead of first deliveries
The Volvo EX30 has received a price rise as the first examples reach showrooms, after a record pre-order and expressions of interest book for the car maker.
Volvo Australia has already increased the price of the 2024 Volvo EX30 electric SUV, as the first examples arrive in local showrooms a few months behind schedule.
A $1300 price rise has been applied to the two most expensive EX30 variants, the Single Motor Extended Ultra and Twin Motor Performance Ultra, which now start from $66,290 and $71,290 plus on-road costs respectively.
Customers who pre-ordered an EX30 since the price was announced last June will be protected from the increase, according to Volvo Australia.
The entry-level Single Motor Extended Plus is unchanged at $59,990 plus on-road costs.
Australian deliveries of the Volvo EX30 commenced in recent weeks – a few months behind the January launch initially anticipated – as the company's most affordable electric car – and its smallest model since the C30 hatch was dropped in 2013.
Volvo says the first 1700 cars to come off the assembly line have already been sold – including the entire Model Year 2024 production run of 1500 vehicles – and orders placed today are estimated to see delivery in September as an MY25 car.
According to Volvo, this represents the most pre-launch interest in a new Volvo in the company's Australian history.
All Australian EX30 variants are powered by a 69kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt battery, which feeds a 200kW/343Nm rear-mounted electric motor in Single Motor models, or dual motors with 315kW/543Nm in the Twin Motor Performance Ultra.
Volvo claims up to 480km of estimated driving range, based on WLTP lab testing for the Single Motor versions, or 460km for the Twin Motor.
